I give you the end of a golden string, Only wind it into a ball: It will lead you in at Heavens gate, Built in Jerusalem’s wall.

William Blake, Jerusalem.

The Blake Society honours and celebrates William Blake (1757-1827), engraver, poet, painter & prophet. We bring together amateurs and professionals, enthusiasts and scholars on equal terms; and have been meeting regularly in London since 1985. Speakers include musicians, artists, writers, radicals, and mystics. Our members are to be found in many countries.

These pages contain information about our current projects and events programme, archives of past projects, and information about Blake himself.
